Rewind to December 4, 1982 and relive memories of Norwich City's victory against Liverpool at Carrow Road.

City were tireless in their efforts to keep Bob Paisley's team at bay and John Deehan's 75th-minute goal was enough to win the game.

However every silver lining has a cloud and City supporters winced when wide man Mark Barham was stretchered off after sustaining knee ligament damage minutes from the end of the game.

Speaking after the game, manager Ken Brown relished the result. 

"Yes, that was the most satisfying win of my career," he said.

"Also my daughter Amanda won a major tennis tournament in Melbourne, and the club's youth team won 5-0 away from home... you could say it's been a rather good day for me," he added.
